Erg mode - pros/cons podcast

I generally run TR and Zwift concurrently and have noticed in ERG that the TR reported power seems to fluctuate in a more narrow band than what’s reported on Zwift even though both are connected to the same power meters. Maybe some sort of subtle smoothing.

That’s a different issue than actual ERG performance differences that may exist as driven by each app.

Your dual data case with ERG purely from TR is something else.

  • Are you using the same protocol (BLE vs ANT+) to each app and Z or TR device?

  • What smoothing settings do you have applied in each app? Z offers just 2 settings (none or 3 second) while TR offers a slider with 1 second steps.

Either or both of those are the first variables I know to check.

Ah, didn’t realize I had 6 second smoothing on TR…

My experience has been they are remarkably the same. I don’t see/feel any difference between them, except TR can kick my butt a lot harder, if I let it…
